            <h2>About YRX</h2>





            <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;YRX is a regular expressions
package aimed to ease
the creation of lexical scanner, and other text transformation tools,
in C.</p>





            <p>&nbsp; There are many of such tools ranging
from regular
expressions libraries to full fledged lexers (flex, re2c, ...); YRX
specialty is to be:</p>





            <ul>



              <li><span style="font-style: italic;">Lightweight</span>.
Special care as been put in minimizing the size of resulting scanner.</li>



              <li><span style="font-style: italic;">Fast</span>.
Regular expressions expressive power as been sacrificed to gain the
maximum execution speed.</li>



              <li><span style="font-style: italic;">Simple
to use for C programmers</span>.
Text scanners can be embedded in regular C code with a switch-like syntax,
a stream based input model allows you to transparently deal with files
or text buffers.<br>



Also, a facility to express Finite State Machines in C is provided.</li>





            </ul>





            <p>&nbsp; I wrote YRX to satisfy some of the
requirements
of another project I'm currently engaged in, I make it publicly
available in the hope it may suit your needs as well.</p>




            <p>&nbsp; YRX code is
released under a very liberal license, you can use it anyway you want
as long as you give me credits and don't blame me if something goes
wrong!&nbsp;</p>





            <p>&nbsp; If you have any comment or if you find
any bug, feel free to <a href="mailto:rdentato@users.sourceforge.net">write me</a>
directly or use one of the many facilities at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/yrx">SourceForge</a>.<br>



&nbsp;</p>





            <h2>YRX &amp; RX</h2>





            <p>&nbsp; &nbsp;There are two components in
YRX: a regular
expression library (rx) and a C preprocessor (yrx). The library has no
dependencies and can be used by itself, the preprocessor relies on the
rx library to work properly. Using the provided makefiles and build
related scripts you should be able to easily compile yrx for your
compiler/system.</p>





            <p>&nbsp; More details are available in the <a href="docs.html">documentation page</a>. To download
it use SourceForge <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=159782">download
page</a>. You may also have a look at the <a href="http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/yrx/">SubVersion repository</a> for the latest development version        </p>
